Can an insurance company drop you if you get sick?
Question Details:
My sister was very sick and was hospitalized for about a month; she is still having complications. She was released from the hospital 2 months ago. She is on her husband's insurance through work. He's been employed at this small road construction company for over 20 years. They were notified today their insurance is canceled but no one else's was cancelled. Is this legal?
An insurance carrier must continue an insured's policy for the term of it unless premiums for it are not renewed. In the situation that you are writing about if the term of the policy that your sister is on is up, then the insurance carrier has the right to cancel the policy of insurance at the end of its term unless there is writing to the contrary.
I suggets that you sister consult with an attorney that practices insurance law further regarding the question that you are writing about in that the written insurance policy needs to be read carefully that covers your sister for health care.
